Donald Trump
will decide soon whether to mount a third party bid if he loses the
Republican nomination for president, the real estate mogul said
Saturday.
"I think over the next couple of weeks you're going to
see some things that are very interesting," Trump said after a speech in
Nashville to a gathering of tea party activists.
"We're going to make a decision very soon," he added, "and I think a lot of people are going to be very happy."
Trump
has so far refused to pledge to support the eventual Republican
nominee, saying his refusal to commit gains him leverage over the party
establishment, which has been caught off-guard by his early dominance in
the race. He's also said repeatedly that he'd prefer to run as a
Republican as long as the party treats him fairly.

Personally, I am not on board with Trump. I think he is a carnival barker promoting Donald Trump and I doubt his devotion to conservative principles.

However, if I was not limited in my ability to go to events due to my caregiver responsibilities, I would have attended this event.

This is the Facebook report and pictures from my friend Rick Williams, a conservative Democrat who is in the slow process of making the transition to becoming a Republican. Rick is chairman of the Save our Fairgrounds group:

Good Morning To All My Facebook Friends, I am sad I had to miss the
monthly John A's Community Breakfast at his Music Valley Night Club,
John A's this morning. But it was important to me to come and listen
to Donald Trump this morning at Rocket Town on 4th Avenue South. I
TRUELY FEEL he is speaking for the middle class of America. The reason
we have

such a low turn out for elections is because most people think
nothing will change. Donald Trump gives hope to the Middle Class that
things will change if he is elected. He will draw from both parties and
his campaign will encourage people who have given up to get back
involved and voting. I also believe this movement is real and will
last. Please take time to look at what he is saying.
Your Friend to
All,
Rick Williams

Councilman Fabian Bedne, who actually I think is one of the better Councilmen- not one of the "good" councilman, but he is responsive, thoughtful, and attends committee meetings and returns phone calls. He wrote:

Before I head downtown to protest all the lies and falsehoods that Trump
and Santorum are going to spew today I figure I do a pre-emptive post
with the top lies that have been said already by candidates. It gets so
old to argue a negative but we have to try because in the meantime the
environment gets dangerously toxic for all immigrants. Please share if
you can. (I am not posting his list of 'top lies' you can find him on Facebook it you care.)

This is from Tami Kilmarx, a conservative activist and formerly Chair of Tennessee Tea Party:

I will say this....an observation I did make today (and I wasn't
there but a few hours to, admittedly, hear Mr. Trump on behalf of our
son. I also really like Mr. Trump and have for years).....I took
definite note of who of our elected employees were there (state and
federal)....and that wasn't hard. Sen. Mae Beavers, Rep. Sheila K. Butt, Rep. Courtney Rogers, and Congressman Marsha Blackburn (who somehow made herself available to introduce Mr Trump....which was a bit of a head-scratcher for me, admittedly.)

I would like to understand why more of our representatives don't make
themselves available to the REAL conservative Republican Party
(Tennessee Republican Assembly)....and I should think when you have a
front-runner presidential candidate who is come to Nashville, you would
be here to greet him.
I just wonder...is it barely possible that
many don't truly care about what the grassroots think? Do you not care
that that event today was FULL of young people? Very VERY young people,
most of whom are not yet old enough to vote but who are showing great
interest in what is happening now? That really, there is a palpable
sense of HOPE and EXCITEMENT in the air about this election....MORE THAN
I HAVE EVEN FELT IN A LONG LONG TIME....regardless of how you feel
about Donald Trump or the TRA....or any of the rest of it?
I
would say a great many of you...Republicans, Legislators, elected
ones....really missed out on something very VERY GREAT and important.
You just missed it and you don't get it....and it is really very sad to
me....Worse still, it is our...Tennessee's....great loss....because you
missed the young people....ALL THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE....and all that
excitement.

Sharon Ford....GREAT JOB HONEY!

State Rep. Sheila Butts had this to say:

I have just listened to Donald Trump
and understand completely why he resonates with the American people! I
so enjoyed his comments and his winning attitude. I love that he builds
things. I love that he puts the media in its place. However, every voter
needs to seriously consider their vote in this upcoming election. I
could not agree with him that his sister would make a great Supreme
Court Justice:

Nashville, Tennessee (CNN)Donald
Trump took his colorful campaign to Nashville on Saturday, where he
courted a constituency that some say he is tailor-made for: the tea
party.

He competed in a
presidential straw poll here -- winning handily with 52% of the vote --
and addressed the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, a group
that boasts it was "the tea party before there was a tea party."

Trump's
appearance was highly anticipated at the conservative gathering: As a
candidate, he's hitting the same notes -- anger at conventional
politics, contempt for Washington and distrust of special interests and
lobbyists -- that propelled the tea party movement in 2010.

will decide soon whether to mount a third party bid if he loses the
Republican nomination for president, the real estate mogul said
Saturday.

Nashville to a gathering of tea party activists.
"We're going to make a decision very soon," he added, "and I think a lot of people are going to be very happy."
Trump
has so far refused to pledge to support the eventual Republican
nominee, saying his refusal to commit gains him leverage over the party
establishment, which has been caught off-guard by his early dominance in
the race. He's also said repeatedly that he'd prefer to run as a
Republican as long as the party treats him fairly.
